Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-15981:
--------------------------------------
Should we actually remove the configuration point and as a side-effect clean up
the docs?
> Stripe and Date-tiered compactions inaccurately suggest disabling table in
> docs

> {{hbase.online.schema.update.enable}} is set to true in later versions of
> HBase. However, the documentation in the book around configuration Stripe and
> Date-tiered compactions instruct the user to disable a table before changing
> configuration. According to Enis on the user list, this is not necessary:
> {quote}
> Disabling the table should not be needed. From the stripe compaction
> perspective, deploying this in a disabled table versus in an online alter
> table is not different at all. The "hbase.online.schema.update.enable"
> property was fixing some possible race conditions that were fixed long time
> ago.
> {quote}
> We should update the book to remove this inaccurate messaging.
